Sometimes we get lucky and prevent these attacks
Less than a month before two deadly shootings took the lives of 29 people in one weekend, another mass shooting was stopped.
A Lubbock, Texas man, identified as William Patrick Williams, 19, was arrested by special agents of the FBI and ATF, the US Attorney's Office of the Northern District of Texas announced Friday.
Williams was allegedly contemplating a mass shooting and bought ammunition. He rented a hotel room where he was plotting to kill people before his grandmother persuaded him to visit a hospital after learning of his plan, the release said. According to the release, Williams told his grandmother on July 13 he had recently purchased an AK-47 rifle, was planning to "shoot up" a hotel and "then commit suicide by cop."
The grandmother was able get him into treatment prior to his arrest.
Authorities applauded the courageous actions of Williams' grandmother, saying her interference likely saved the lives of many.
"This was a tragedy averted," said US Attorney Nealy Cox. "I want to praise the defendant's grandmother, who saved lives by interrupting this plot, as well as the Lubbock police officers and federal agents who investigated his unlawful acquisition of a deadly weapon."
Williams was arrested after a hospitalization and gave investigators permission to search his hotel room, the release said. Investigators uncovered an AK-47 rifle, 17 magazines loaded with ammunition and multiple knives in Williams' hotel room, according to the release.
Williams told officers he had laid out his weapons on a bed so that law enforcement could take custody of them.
Other items recovered from the room included a black trench coat, black tactical pants, a black T-shirt that read "Let 'Em Come," the press release said.
On July 21, the ATF received a firearms transaction form filled out on July 11 where Williams lied about his residence.
He has been charged with making false statements to a firearms dealer because of his claim that he lived at an address where he had been evicted. The offense carries up to five years in federal prison.
"The FBI worked closely with our partners at the ATF and Lubbock Police Department to prevent the defendant from potentially committing a violent act," said Matthew DeSarno, special agent in charge of the FBI's Dallas field office.
"This case is a perfect example of law enforcement agencies coming together to find a solution that protected the public from harm."

This is an example of the mental health dimension of this phenomenon, and the kid obviously needed treatment. Where we're lucky in this case is that he willingly went. If he didn't, and Grandma called the police, the bull "72 hour" hold would've had him out on the streets fairly quickly. People like this need ins utional commitment until they get right.
Thank God for the grandmother.
A cry for help. The burden lies with the parents, the schools, the churches...If a kid has none of these to properly vent we see the results in El Paso and Ohio. Throw in opiods and god knows what else doctors are giving the kids these days and we have a mental breakdown. The common denominator is usually some kind of pharmaceutical and a chemical imbalance.
Post your proof.
Meh...I'm so skeptical of the Jewish controlled opposition media (Fox News & CNN) that this story serves as a bone to the masses so they can say "see guys! Guns don't kill people!! Mental illness is the problem."
With all these mass shootings happening at once, something doesn't seem right. I smell some type of gun reform legislation coming...
The joooz!
Muh false flag!
MKUltra sleeper cells created specifically for false flags can't just be casually dismissed if you feel like something doesn't seem right. ^
usually you shield blatant anti-semitism by limiting your anger to "zionists" (by which you really mean all jews, anyway)... tho here you missed that altogether
besides, i dont think there's any harm in identifying mental illness as a big issue when it comes to mass murderers.
Nah...my hatred is towards the Zionists. I actually like ultra-orthodox Jews because they're against Zionism. CNN and Fox News are Zionist war propaganda for the CIA.usually you shield blatant anti-semitism by limiting your anger to "zionists" (by which you really mean all jews, anyway)... tho here you missed that altogether
besides, i dont think there's any harm in identifying mental illness as a big issue when it comes to mass murderers.
But using mental health illness as the basis for gun reform legislation is a huge slippery slope.
doesnt have to be "the basis"... just a multi-pronged approach
See this.
fckn idiots abound.
Joos will not replace him!
Wrong.
There are divisions among them.
One group definitely is against the creation of Israel and Zionism. Others dont follow this at all.
Some just want to stay out of the military.
God bless these Jews
Multiple signs and incidents in previous years and months from Dayton shooter Connor Betts.

I'm not blaming police, just discussing. Good, detailed article.

Joe Biden says video games may play role in gun violence
You don't take the last fortnight off late October 2016.
You don't let old-white-man stalk you around a stage.
You don't stand by your husband & President after he's busted a nut on the Resolute Desk while you & your buck tooth daughter slept in the room above.
This an example for the Repugs. Trash obviously needs treatment (by the 25th). Trash needs ins utional commitment
